Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription-only, once-weekly injectable medication for type 2 diabetes management and, off-label, for weight loss. The 1mg dose, delivered via a prefilled pen, is a standard maintenance dose, typically reached after escalating from 0.25mg and 0.5mg to optimize efficacy. Developed by Novo Nordisk, it’s FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes but not for type 1 diabetes, pancreatitis, or use in those under 18.

Mechanisms of Action
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics the incretin hormone, stimulating insulin release during high blood glucose, reducing liver glucagon production, and slowing gastric emptying to control post-meal glucose spikes. It also suppresses appetite, enhancing satiety. SUSTAIN trials show 1mg reduces HbA1c by 1.2–1.8% and promotes 10–15 pounds weight loss over 6–12 months with lifestyle changes.
